Outpatient Addiction Recovery
Positive Directions offers both day and evening rehab tracks, giving clients flexible options based on their support needs and schedules.
A multidisciplinary team develops individualized treatment plans which may include substance, alcohol and gambling evaluations, medical and psychiatric assessment, and toxicology screening.
Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and 12-step facilitation to address both symptoms and root causes.
Sessions extend beyond counseling to include vocational, nutritional and recreational support, plus client advocacy with community agencies and social services.
Flexible Scheduling and Specialized Support
Day rehabilitation runs weekdays for people needing added structure, while the evening clinic meets three nights per week for those balancing recovery with work or school.
The program supports clients meeting DWI-related legal mandates and offers a Spanish-speaking evening group for greater accessibility.
